Teen bullfighter gored

NEWS SERVICESCHICAGO TRIBUNE

14-year-old matador who left Spain to escape his home country's ban on young bullfighters was nearly gored to death in a Mexican ring in Aguascalientes, his lung punctured by a 900-pound bull. Jairo Miguel, who has been bullfighting professionally for about the past two years, was fighting at the Aguascalientes Monumental Bull Ring on Sunday when a bull named Hidrocalido rushed him at top speed and lifted him in the air, appearing to carry him several yards with one horn firmly lodged in his thorax.
